    Match Cut Directors Consensus - Richard Donner

    The Omen - 7
    Lethal Weapon - 6.5

    Saw Lethal Weapon 4, but way too long ago. It sucked, from memory. I also saw the Maverick stage production at Warner Bros. Movie World around the time of the movie's release. It sucked, from memory.

    I didn't realize I had seen so many of his movies.

    The Omen (1976) 5.0
    Superman (1978) 7.0
    Ladyhawke (1985) 5.5
    The Goonies (1985) 5.0
    Lethal Weapon (1987) 6.5
    Scrooged (1988) 2.5
    Radio Flyer (1992) 4.0
    Maverick (1994) 3.5

    Are we counting Superman II as his? He wasn't credited and I believe Lester got rid of most of the work done before he took over production.

    I really think he's good enough and he did Superman, which is one of the great comic book movies, thus deserving a small spot in movie history as far as I'm concerned.

    I noticed that Criticker doesn't count Superman II, so I'm going to go with that.

    I never really got the appeal of the Lethal Weapon series, and retrospectively the only Mel Gibson series I'm able to enjoy anymore are the Mad Max movies.

    I've also seen Ladyhawke and The Omen and remember enjoying them but it's been too long to accurately rate them.

    What are the objections to Ladyhawke? If you say the synth music, I will punch you in the nose.

    The ratings I'm seeing here for Superman are actually making me consider never posting on this forum again and cutting all contact with all of you.

    And I'm not even joking. Not in the slightest.

    I liked Ladyhawke a lot, but the synth music is bad, Spinal.
